Sorry Steven, that I dont have. I dont use it for "working purposes" per sae, I just use it when Im lazy and dont want to pull the vehicle out in the sun. So even in a garage, under decent flourescent lighting, I can use this close to the paint for inspection.
I have issues using quartz lights as they heat the work area up, and are soooo bright, they often give more visual distractions when working. My ideal light source when working is flourescent, garage open with natural light, and with a little LED help for closer inspection.

I like the price point and where I live it's overcast 80% of the time.

Would be a handy tool to have around for checking work on my Silver Satin Metallic paint.

Thanks for the info.

This light (shown) is actually better then the one I own as its corded, and battery operated (rechargeable )

How does the compare to the Brinkman that is so raved about on Autopia? I think both are right around the same price, too.

You should be able to get that Craftsman light from KMart and Sears, too.

I too would like to hear some more feedback, and maybe an opinion on comparison to the Brinkmann....


I just purchased a Brinkmann last night, and it turned on out of the box, but didn't seem very bright. When I put it to the paint, it didn't help me see much, if anything.

I figured it needed to be charged, and maybe would be brighter, so I plugged it into the charger, and 10 hours later in the morning it wouldn't turn on (says not to charge more than 12 hours, but I only charged it for 10).


When my car is in the sunlight, you can see a ton of spider webs.

I need some work light that will show something close to this, so that I can observe my work.

Patrick, if things don't get any better, I'm going to camp outside your shop!!!

My local Wally World (Porter Ranch, CA) has these in stock for $29.92. I saw it today while picking up some motor oil.
